An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our friendly ultrasound team at Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

You will work alongside the current team of 19 sonographers, participating in the extended working day and weekend service. Substantial investment has allowed the expansion of the ultrasound service over the last 3 years with the opening of the flagship Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC).

This team provides ultrasound services across two sites, one at the main hospital site and also the Community Diagnostic Centre in Barnsley town centre.
